Epoxy and flake systems for automotive workshops, dealerships, panel shops and detailers. Chemical-resistant, impact-tolerant, textured where it matters, and finished in colours that make your branded bay stand out.
Oil staining through the seal. Hot tyre pickup. Brake fluid softening the topcoat. Slip under the hose.
Each system is chosen against your slab, your chemicals and your downtime window. Links go to the full service page.
Jointless epoxy and resin coatings for warehouses, factories, garages and commercial facilities.
Heavy-duty resin and polyurethane systems for forklift traffic, chemical exposure and hot washdown.
Vinyl flake broadcast into a resin base. Decorative and slip-resistant for garages, workshops and pool surrounds.
For facility managers, builders and project managers who are past the brochure stage.
Automotive workshop floors live under a harder life than most trades admit. Engine oil, diesel, petrol, brake fluid and battery acid exposure. Hoist point loads concentrated across four pads. Hot tyre pickup where under-cured coatings transfer lift to the tyre. Impact from dropped tools and wheel rims. Wash-down with water, degreaser and steam. On dealerships, the finish also carries brand expectations, which means custom colour flake blends and a showroom-grade topcoat.
Typical build-ups run flake flooring or high-build epoxy with a polyurethane-urea topcoat. Flake flooring delivers the grip for wash bays, the decorative brand-colour blend for dealerships, and the urethane topcoat that shrugs off motor oil and brake fluid. High-build epoxy at 500 to 1000 microns carries the point-load spec for hoist pad zones. Polyurethane cement is specified where an over-the-pit or wash-down area needs thermal-shock tolerance. Line marking to AS 1742.11 installs as part of the programme.
Materials matter on every surface in an automotive space. Hot tyre pickup is a chemistry problem solved by UV-stable urethane topcoats and a full post-cure before vehicle use. Cheaper acrylic topcoats lift with the tyre and leave a ring that will not come off. Flake is UV-stable vinyl, so the colour blend does not fade. Brake fluid softens lower-grade topcoats quickly, which is why the urethane or polyurethane-urea spec is mandatory under a hoist.
Site conditions that move the spec: hoist pad zones need pre-cured high-build epoxy under the pads to carry the point load. Wash bays need a coarse broadcast flake or polyurethane cement, with slip testing to AS 4586 arranged where the spec calls for it. Alignment bays need a finish that does not interfere with the alignment target. Panel shops need solvent and paint-thinner tolerance. Detailing bays need a gloss finish that reads clean under fluorescent light. Dealerships need brand-colour blends mixed and signed off on a sample before install.
Install approach is typically weekend or staged programmes. A single-bay workshop can be worked around a weekend with fast-cure systems. A full dealership runs staged by zone, with one zone always open for operations. Custom flake blends and topcoat tints are mixed and sampled before install, signed off by the workshop manager, then applied to the approved drawdown. We look at the floor first and give you the programme with the quote.
What to expect covers chemistry, colour and grip, and we set it out before we quote. We tell you how the topcoat will handle your oils and cleaning, how long to keep vehicles off it while it cures, and how to look after it, and we put the terms in writing with the price. Brand-colour flake blends hold their colour because the vinyl itself is UV-stable. The service and maintenance guide covers cleaning chemistry, anti-slip re-dressing and re-coat cycle, so the dealership maintenance crew or workshop owner can keep the floor looking as it did on hand-back.
Manufacturer data sheets, SWMS and insurance certificates come with the quote.
| Standard | What it means for the floor |
|---|---|
| Chemical resistance | Oil, fuel, brake fluid, battery acid and degreaser, per the manufacturer data for the system. |
| AS 4586 slip rating | Textured finishes for wash bays. Slip testing arranged where the spec calls for it. |
| AS 1940 dangerous goods | Storage zone requirements where the spec calls for them. |
| Solvent-resistant topcoat | Urethane or polyurethane-urea topcoat where the chemicals demand it. |
| Hot tyre pickup | Full cure before cars come back in. The date goes in the programme. |
We can work over a weekend or bay by bay so the workshop keeps trading. Custom flake blends for brand colours. Line marking where needed.

Not if the system suits it. Hoist pads sit on fully cured areas, and we step up to a heavier build or polyurethane cement under the pads if the load calls for it.
Hot tyre pickup happens when cars go back on before the coating has cured, or when the topcoat is wrong for the job. We choose a topcoat suited to tyres and put the return date in the programme.
Yes. Custom flake blends and topcoat tints. We mix, sample and sign off before install.
